1970 Map of Antelope Lookout Mesa

About this map

Becenti Chapter House serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of McKinley County, as it appeared in the early 1970s. The topography is defined by significant landforms including Tiger Walkup Mesa in the north and the central Antelope Lookout Mesa. Water management and resource extraction are evident across the terrain, marked by the presence of a Flowing Well and an isolated Drill Hole. The seasonal drainage of Indian Creek carves through the western portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the intermittent nature of the local hydrology. This 1970 survey provides a detailed record of the sparse but critical infrastructure and named landmarks that supported the community and grazing activities in this region of New Mexico.
